Zheng Jie and Wilson (Before Yonex)

[ZhengJieisagoddess]

I ought to know this one, but don't...I've thought about calling the Chinese embassy downtown, but thought I'd ask here first
Before she became an advisor to Yonex, and started using the RDS 003 and the RDiS 300, Zheng Jie seems to have used a Wilson racquet. Does anyone know what that was? What is your source?
Thanks.

That's a 5.2. At least a paint job of one anyway.

How can you tell? It's not that great a pic of the racquet.

The 5.3 was black with white at 12:00 and gold. The oversize 5.3 did not have a cross bar stabilizer. The 5.3s were beefier opposed to the slimmer 5.2 series, which is essentially the nTour / KTour series.

Thank you. I really appreciate the detail and your expertise. I see you are a Yonex fan too!

The RDiS 300 is a fantastic racquet. Quality choice.

Yes, I love it (I have five of 'em, also five RDS 003s). It has nice flexibility and is heavy enough to stand up to some hard shots. I looked at several racquets before settling on this one. I am doing things that I never thought I'd be able to do on a tennis court with this.
